Omoyele Sowore, convener of the RevolutionNow Movement, was on Thursday evening released after spending 124 days in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).

Okay.ng recalls that the DSS arrested Sowore since August 3 some days to his planned #RevolutionNow protest.

He has since then been in their custody despite several court orders for his release from detention.

On Thursday, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court in Abuja asked the DSS to release Sowore within 24 hours.

She asked the DSS to pay a fine of N100,000 for disobeying an order to release Sowore earlier.

Here are photos of Sowore alongside his lawyer, Femi Falana, after he was released on Thursday:
